Well, the Imps do "kill" a very important republic character in Foundry. Also not completely sure if the end boss of FE is totally dead either.
My memory isn't the best, but the only chancellor I remember was the Grand Chancellor and he was a male. Reading further, he got replaced by a twi'lek female called Saresh. Maybe she gives you the medal?

you can store as much as your current level's XP requirement. Aka, if you are 42, and you need to get 370000 XP to hit 43, you can get up to 370000 rest XP.
After my week long trip in Barcelona, I haven't been out of rest XP for a week. I've even stopped going back to my rest zones because I have so much of it

Stopped playing it for a day or two and I've not had the urge to go back and play it. Either I've grown out of/burned out on MMOs, or TOR is lacking 'something'.

Heh, there's absolutely no way imps on average win 5 out of every 7 WZs on KE. I win about 60% of my matches (went 7-1 last night) and almost never do premades. My queue times are during "prime time" when the most people are on. I'm sorry, but to say that is the minimum is even more infeasible a statistic. If you do a lot of premades you may personally experience 5/7 but server wide this ratio is definitely false.

The chance of winning a pug game on imp side is somewhere between slim to none. There's a large influx on new 50s that don't seem to really know what they're doing. And I've seen alot of battlemaster repubs out there too. Guess Ilum isnt a complete failure for our server

I think KE is not too bad population ratio wise. From reading population sampling on the fleets during prime time there seems to be a rough ratio of 10:6.5 favoring empire. I'd love to see what the real statistic is but I just think a 70% win rate for the average imp player is way too high. I would guess the server ratio is pretty close to 50/50.
Republic end game spoiler ahead.
The new chancellor was the former governor of Taris.
The progression of story in this game is so much better than Wow. It is by far its strongest advantage.

In what way? You build up Rest on your xp bar as you leave your character in a rest zone, and also builds up while you log off. You can store up to your level worth of xp in rest potential. While you are rested you get double xp from all your kills (doesn't double quest and other xp rewards).
Not that many big quests where there has to be a community effort/ not that many true guild activities? Just taking some guesses from what i've been reading from other high level players (assuming since most of the people in this thread seem to be 40-50).

You know, I think that could be it. Everything is so static, which is odd giving how 'interactive' the dialogue system is. Nothing changes outside of your cutscene. I know this is an issue with many MMOs, but... ergh.
It's not really spoilers for republic because it's obvious that's who'd be the end boss since buying the game. Also it's said who's in it before ever entering the instance.
They explain the jk spoiler to all dark side
Also drops on Hard Soa.

Since when is there an Empire GAF guild?
As far as I remember, back in December we only had Republic GAF guilds.
I hope you're kidding.
Read the OP?
There are 2 GAF Empire guilds (one US and one Europe), and they've been there since Day 1.

Pretty sure we're gonna try to get a 16 man HM group tonight.
How much harder is it compared to normal? I mean, we generally breezed through most of EV and Karagga, but there were some tough spots.
Oh, and Raz: I love you.
Sciion told me someone said you just need at least 2 pieces of Col gear and full mods from dailies. Seems kinda low. I'm only lacking boots, legs, bracers, 2 implans and ear.

Heh, just heard a good one.
My friend was playing his Sith Assassin on "Prophecy of the Five" and farming mobs for money. He found that a specific mob, "Commander Something" (he can't remember) on Correlia, was giving really good items. So he started doing a small pattern of farming, always coming back to his favorite champion and killing it if it was spawned/available.
Then all of a sudden, a GM pops and starts talking to him. The conversation went something like: "I'd like you to stop killing this champion please". My friend was pretty surprised about that and inquired as to why he should stop killing the mob. The GM said that he wasn't supposed to be able to gather such good items is such a small time. My friend (ever the defiant one) told the GM he was using his own crafted gear, and no exploits, that he WASN'T going to stop as he is working within the game's rules / items / class skills that were provided to him.
The GM then said: "It seems you aren't capable of understanding the situation, and thus from now on if you kill that mob, you won't be able to get any items from it."
My friend tried 2-3 times again for good mesures, and indeed, no more drops of anything.
He told me he is now re-examining why he should play this MMO, as he was doing what everyone was doing all the time in ANY MMO ever launched... farming mobs for loot.
I tought this would be an interesting read, so here you go.

I find this hard to believe. My friends and I do a very similar thing with soloing level 50 Champion mobs on Belsavis (sometimes killing them for a couple hours) by resetting instances every 5 minutes, and we've never been contacted by a GM. I don't believe this Corellian Champion has any better loot than the ones on Belsavis (75%+ chance at level 50 blue gear or moddable weapon).

Sorry, but I'm just going to come out and say that your friend is completely full of shit. I don't mean this to be offensive, but I have about 99% (but not 100%) confidence in my assessment.
Not only because of the issue of a GM telling someone to stop legitimately killing something is pretty absurd, but also because I sincerely doubt that GMs have the ability to selectively turn off a mob's loot table for individual players, AND that this would be detected live / in real time by a GM.
In short, POIDH

I really dont see why he'd make this up... The only thing I've omitted is that someone else (a player) was watching him do it, and he might have reported him.
But he isn't making this up. I know he isnt.
Obviously, I can't prove it to you guys.

I'm not going to speculate about why someone would or wouldn't make something up, but I'm just saying.. This is veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery fishy and anyone who isn't instantly suspicious of at least some aspect of this story isn't thinking very clearly.
I mean I said 99% confidence instead of 100% because anything's possible. But yea...
Francois424
Neo Member
I guess we sit and wait. If anyone else get GM-Harrassed, we'll know about it, heh.
Why doesn't he post it on the official forums for a GM to respond?
You posting it on here for people to speculate and telling people ti "sit and wait and see if anyone else gets harassed" is retarded.
And, yea, there should be screen shots.
Francois424
Neo Member
Allright allright. Sorry everyone.
No more second hand information.
I Thought it's something you'd have like to hear and I was wrong.
My appologies. ;_;

Yeah. In the form of an official thread with screen shots.
And you're dodging the screen shot question.

TBH I don't doubt that his friend told him this. If his friend didn't give him screenshots, he wouldn't have any. So i don't blame Francois for any of this, personally. But yea, POIDH

I thought there were diminishing returns on loot drops from champions anyway.

Since I am not my friend, I cannot indulge... Sorry.
( He's a work Buddy that got me into the game )
You really shouldn't apologize, but you should be thanking us because we found out your friend is not trustworthy for you! Or he is telling the truth and we'll see some sweet screenshots.
You should know if he took some...
How long have you been playing MMO's? It should also been one of the first questions you ask.
"holy shit, did you get screen shots of it?"
I just cannot fathom someone not asking that.
Francois424
Neo Member
I sent him an e-mail, if it re-happens he should take those screenshots.
So you're indirectly admitting you did know that he didn't get any?
Hence I had a feeling you were dodging for a reason.
Francois424
Neo Member
He's a work buddy that went home. I couldn't ask in person because after I posted the story, he already went home.
I don't have a habit of asking for screenshots (didn't care to be honest).
But if I get one, I'll be the first to post it here as proof. Assuming of course, the event occurs again...
He did tell me he was going to try again tonight when he got home.
